Suicide is terrible and we are not able to know all the contributing factors to his tragic and selfish decision.

That being said, we can point a finger squarely at the seeker sensitive, charismatic, megachurch movement of evangelical Christianity. It is entirely emotion based and manipulative with no sense of tradition, rather than based on a careful systematic theology directly exposited from the text

Harvest church is founded by Greg Laurie, a (literal) boomer "Jesus movement" hippie. He's essentially a motivational speaker who placed himself as the successor to Billy Graham, except he walks around stage in blue jeans at NFL stadiums and gives a pep talk after rap and whiny rock worship music.

This kind of megachurch is found in every metro area in the US and Canada.
